Lion Brand^® Chenille Thick & Quick^® - Fun Fur

GAUGE:

10 sts + 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with MC.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Santa Mittens Reviewed by Janice Kemker on 2008-12-18
The thumb gusset part of the pattern is absolutely GREAT!!!! Easy and works out well. I do not finish the thumb as indicated but instead of putting stitches on stitch holder, I knit several more rows to add to the thumb gusset and bind off thumb. I use this pattern as base for fingerless gloves.
